The short answer
Instant skips the evaluation entirely. You trade on simulated capital from your first order, there is no profit target to reach, and you may request a withdrawal as soon as you are in profit and the withdrawal conditions are met. You look after three risk limits as you trade: a 3% daily drawdown, a 5% trailing maximum drawdown, and a 2% cap on the loss from any single trade. Everything else is simply trading.
Instant is the standard account of the instant class, built for traders who would rather begin straight away than pass an evaluation first. The complete rule set is set out below, in one place.
What Instant is in one line
Instant is a simulated trading account you fund once and trade right away. There are no evaluation phases and no profit target. You trade on real, live market prices, and every reward you earn from profitable trading is real money paid to you.
You are welcome to trade across all six of our markets: forex, metals, cryptocurrencies, indices, shares and energies, more than 1,300 instruments in total, at leverage of 1:100. Because there is no target to reach, your task is simply to grow the account while staying inside the risk limits. Stay within them and you may keep trading, and keep requesting rewards, for as long as you hold the account.
The rules: drawdowns and single-trade limit
Three limits govern an Instant account. They are published in full, they are the same for everyone, and your live figures for each are always shown on your dashboard.
Rule | Limit | What it means |
Daily drawdown | 3% | The most your equity may fall within a single trading day. It resets at 00:00 UTC. |
Trailing maximum drawdown | 5% | Your overall floor. It trails your equity upward as the account grows, then locks at your starting balance once your profit covers the trailing distance. |
Single-trade loss | 2% | No individual trade may lose more than 2% of the account. |
Both drawdowns are measured on your equity, so open and floating profit and loss are included in real time, not only closed trades. The 3% daily drawdown is measured from your equity at the start of each trading day and resets every day at 00:00 UTC. The 5% trailing maximum drawdown is your absolute floor: it follows your equity higher as you profit, then locks in place at your starting balance once your profit covers the trailing distance, so your original balance is protected from that point on. The 2% single-trade limit keeps any one position from doing outsized damage. Each of these is a protection, and each is shown live on your dashboard.
No target, and no clock
Instant has no profit target. You are not racing to reach a percentage gain before you can be paid. Once the account is in profit and the withdrawal conditions are met, you may request a withdrawal.
There is also no time limit on the account itself. You are welcome to trade when conditions suit you and to hold the account for as long as you keep it inside the risk limits. Before your first withdrawal you need a minimum of 5 trading days, where a qualifying day is one on which you make at least 0.5% profit. These days need not be consecutive. Weekend trading is permitted on Instant, so you may trade markets that move outside the standard weekday session. Please note that an account with no trading for 35 calendar days is closed for inactivity, so a single trade inside that window keeps it active.
Requesting a reward
Getting paid is two clear steps. First a withdrawal moves profit out of your trading account into your UZO wallet; then a reward sends the money from your wallet to your bank or crypto. Before a withdrawal request goes through, these conditions apply together:
At least 1% profit, measured on your initial account size, before every withdrawal, not only the first.
All positions closed. You cannot request while a trade is open, so flatten everything first.
The Best Day Rule respected: no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit in the current reward segment, meaning the profit earned since your last reward. It is a soft gate that simply holds a request until your best day is back within range; it never closes the account.
A minimum of 5 trading days before your first withdrawal.
How much you may take in a single request follows a published structure that rises with each reward, and your exact available amount is always shown on your dashboard. The reward itself carries a minimum of $45; anything below that simply waits in your wallet until it reaches $45, so nothing is lost. Rewards are delivered by bank transfer or crypto, and 95% of rewards are approved within 2 to 3 hours and paid in about 12 hours.
Verifying your identity
Your Instant account is activated once you have completed a one-time identity verification (KYC) with our identity-verification partner, carried out right after purchase. It is quick, you complete it once, and it is there to keep your account and your rewards yours alone.
Verification must be completed by you, in your own name. You must be the person shown on the identity documents, and the same person throughout. Rewards are paid only to a bank account or crypto wallet held in your own name and matching your verified identity. We do not pay third parties, company accounts in a different name, or another person's wallet, and a name that does not match simply holds the reward until it is corrected. We would ask that your dashboard details and your receiving account are in the same name before you request.
Account sizes and your split
Instant accounts are available in sizes up to $1M. The exact price for each size is shown on our live pricing page, which is always the source of truth for what a size costs.
You keep 90%
Every Instant account pays you 90% of the profit you generate, with 10% to UZO. It is the same 90/10 split on every product and at every account size, and it is one of the most generous shares available anywhere.
Leverage is 1:100. As your account grows it can scale from $100K towards $2.5M, with a 35% increase every four months and no new fee to scale.
Who Instant is for
Instant suits traders who would rather begin on simulated capital straight away than sit an evaluation first. It is the standard entry point to the instant class, with a 3% daily and 5% trailing drawdown and the full 90% profit split.
If you would like more room to manoeuvre, Instant Pro keeps the same 90% split and gives you a wider envelope, with a 4% daily and 6% trailing drawdown. If you prefer the structure of an evaluation with a defined target, the One Step and Two Step accounts are the alternative, and they carry no time limit and no minimum number of trading days. Whichever you choose, every limit is published in full and clear to follow, and the account works for you when you trade within the rules.
